About Credit Card Lookup in Table Service
Currently, when tendering a check, you must select a tender button associated with a specific credit card type, such as Master Card or Visa. You can now implement the Credit Card Lookup feature available in Aloha® Table Service that allows you to use a generic credit card button on the Front-of-House (FOH) tenders screen, therefore, reducing the number of credit card buttons from which to select. The system searches the credit cards defined in the Back-of-House (BOH), based on the prefix number, and reports to the appropriate credit card.
SCENARIO: The guest hands a Visa card to the employee for payment. The employee recalls the check, navigates to the Close screen, and touches the credit card lookup button. When they swipe the card across the mag swipe reader, the system identifies the tender as a Visa based on the prefix defined for the card.
Reference: Refer to Tenders for more information on configuring credit cards.
